From only commercially available reagents a wide array of Suzuki cross-couplings of aryl chlorides with arylboronic acids can be effected in excellent yield Eq. (a). This development provides a general solution to a long-standing limitation of this extremely powerful process-the poor reactivity of inexpensive and readily accessible aryl chlorides. dba=dibenzylideneacetone.
